Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council
Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council, Federal heritage building in Ottawa, Canada
The sandstone structure exhibits Second Empire architectural features, including mansard roofs, arched windows, and ornate stone carvings on its three-story facade.
The building, completed in 1889 by architect Thomas Fuller, initially served as a federal office before becoming the headquarters of Canada's executive branch.
The Prime Minister's Office and Privy Council serve as the central hub for federal decision-making, representing the core of Canadian governmental operations.
Located at 80 Wellington Street across from Parliament Hill, the building houses the offices of the Prime Minister and senior government advisors.
The structure changed its name from Langevin Block in 2017 following discussions about the historical context of Indigenous residential schools.
